(The rubber-tracked tractors of modern times are not crawlers: Crawlers had steel tracks.) Secondly, track-type tractors are heavier, slower and much harder to transport than a tractor on wheels.
At their peak, crawlers accounted for just a small part of total tractor production in the U.S. They are rarely displayed at shows, and only occasionally appear in calendars and books and on TV. Crawlers remain relatively scarce in antique iron circles today. But few did that work on a crawler.Īmong that shrinking pool of farm workers, only a small number ever used the track-type tractors commonly known as crawlers or tracklayers. Front-line soldiers, sailors and airmen were unique.Ī similar situation existed in American agriculture, in what might be called the “Early Tractor Generation.” In the first half of the 20th century – before the great migration from the farm to the city first recorded in 1930 – millions of people performed various kinds of farm work.
In fact, even in the wartime military of 15 million, only one in every 26 soldiers was in combat. It is well known that the phrase “Greatest Generation” applies to those responsible for victory in World War II.īut relatively few alive during those years were involved in actual combat.
